New York's Irish community might be organizing one of the largest 'Irish Gatherings' outside the St. Patick's Day Parade. Literally bus loads of volunteers are heading to the Irish enclave of The Rockaways in New York to assist with the recovery efforts from Hurricane Sandy. The Irish neighborhood was devastated by the powerful storm.

The effort kicks off this Saturday with buses leaving from four destinations in the Bronx, Manhattan and Queens. They will leave at 7AM and you should expect to put in a hard day of labor. The "Gathering" is being organized by the Irish Consulate here in New York with great assistance from the people of Ireland.
